Coin dealers, or professional numismatists, are involved in the commercial buying, selling, evaluation and grading of coins. Numismatics, the collection and study of currency, specifically coins, and related objects as works of art and sources of information, is derived from the Latin "numismatis," meaning coin. Expert coin dealers/numismatists serve to advance the study of money, and are sometimes consulted by archaeologists, historians and museum curators for their expertise on currency. At this time, coin dealers are largely unregulated by government, but many belong to professional and/or trade organizations such as the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) and the Industry Council for Tangible Assets (ICTA).
